School district announces students of the year

St. Charles Parish Public Schools announced Nov. 13 the winners of the district’s student of the year awards.

Akshay Parasuraman of St. Rose Elementary School was the elementary student of the year. Kenidee Miranda of J.B. Martin Middle School was the middle school student of the year, and Cecilia Cody of Destrehan High School was the high school student of the year.

The winners will move on to compete in the regional contest in 2026.  Each student was recognized with an acrylic movie poster plaque, and the parish-level winners also received star awards. To be selected as a student of the year, a student must earn a cumulative 3.1 grade point average and be in grade 5, 8, or 12.

All students of the year must compile a portfolio, write a biographical sketch, and be interviewed by a Student Achievement Selection Committee.
